I received my Ph.D. in Psychology (Learning & Behavior, Behavioral Neuroscience) from UCLA in 2011, where I worked on the role of the hippocampus, amygdala and prefrontal cortex in fear memory and extinction, under Dr. Michael S. Fanselow. I am currently investigating the neural circuits mediating the effects of acute and chronic stress on subsequent social and asocial behavior. Outside of the lab you can find me trail running with my dog, rock climbing, or eating oysters.
